Cautions and warnings

General

Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our ceramic transient

voltage suppressor (CTVS) components (multilayer varistors (MLVs)), CeraDiodes, ESD/EMI fil-

ters, leaded transient voltage/ RFI suppressors (SHCV types)) for certain areas of application, in-

cluding recommendations about incorporation/design-in of these products into customer applica-

tions. The statements are based on our knowledge of typical requirements often made of our

CTVS devices in the particular areas. We nevertheless expressly point out that such statements

cannot be regarded as binding statements about the suitability of our CTVS components for a

particular customer application. As a rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer ap-

plications or less familiar with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is al-

ways incumbent on the customer to check and decide whether the CTVS devices with the proper-

ties described in the product specification are suitable for use in a particular customer applica-

tion.

Do not use EPCOS CTVS components for purposes not identified in our specifications,

application notes and data books.

Ensure the suitability of a CTVS in particular by testing it for reliability during design-in. Always

evaluate a CTVS component under worst-case conditions.

Pay special attention to the reliability of CTVS devices intended for use in safety-critical

applications (e.g. medical equipment, automotive, spacecraft, nuclear power plant).

Design notes

Always connect a CTVS in parallel with the electronic circuit to be protected.Consider maximum rated power dissipation if a CTVS has insufficient time to cool down

between a number of pulses occurring within a specified isolated time period. Ensure that

electrical characteristics do not degrade.

Consider derating at higher operating temperatures. Choose the highest voltage class

compatible with derating at higher temperatures.

Surge currents beyond specified values will puncture a CTVS. In extreme cases a CTVS will

burst.

If steep surge current edges are to be expected, make sure your design is as low-inductance

as possible.

In some cases the malfunctioning of passive electronic components or failure before the end of

their service life cannot be completely ruled out in the current state of the art, even if they are

operated as specified. In applications requiring a very high level of operational safety and

especially when the malfunction or failure of a passive electronic component could endanger

human life or health (e.g. in accident prevention, life-saving systems, or automotive battery line

applications such as clamp 30), ensure by suitable design of the application or other measures

(e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by

third parties in the event of such a malfunction or failure. Only use CTVS components from the

automotive series in safety-relevant applications.

Page 18 of 22Please read Cautions and warnings andImportant notes at the end of this document.

Page 19: CTVS Ceramic transient voltage suppressors - TDK Ceramic transient voltage suppressors ... SR 1 S 14 B M 474 X G ... PSpice simulation models available Applications

Specified values only apply to CTVS components that have not been subject to prior electrical,

mechanical or thermal damage. The use of CTVS devices in line-to-ground applications is

therefore not advisable, and it is only allowed together with safety countermeasures like

thermal fuses.

Storage

Only store CTVS in their original packaging. Do not open the package prior to processing.Storage conditions in original packaging: temperature 25 to +45°C, relative humidity ≤75%

annual average, maximum 95%, dew precipitation is inadmissible.

Do not store CTVS devices where they are exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Otherwise the

packaging material may be deformed or CTVS may stick together, causing problems during

mounting.

Avoid contamination of the CTVS surface during storage, handling and processing.

Avoid storing CTVS devices in harmful environments where they are exposed to corrosive

gases for example (SOx, Cl).

Use CTVS as soon as possible after opening factory seals such as polyvinyl-sealed packages.

Solder CTVS components after shipment from EPCOS within the time specified:

CTVS with Ni barrier termination, 12 months

CTVS with AgPt termination, 6 months

SHCV, 24 months

Handling

Do not drop CTVS components and allow them to be chipped.Do not touch CTVS with your bare hands - gloves are recommended.

Avoid contamination of the CTVS surface during handling.

Washing processes may damage the product due to the possible static or cyclic mechanical

loads (e.g. ultrasonic cleaning). They may cause cracks to develop on the product and its parts,

which might lead to reduced reliability or lifetime.

Mounting

When CTVS devices are encapsulated with sealing material or overmolded with plasticmaterial, electrical characteristics might be degraded and the life time reduced.Make sure an electrode is not scratched before, during or after the mounting process.Make sure contacts and housings used for assembly with CTVS components are clean before

mounting.

The surface temperature of an operating CTVS can be higher. Ensure that adjacent

components are placed at a sufficient distance from a CTVS to allow proper cooling.

Avoid contamination of the CTVS surface during processing.

Page 20: CTVS Ceramic transient voltage suppressors - TDK Ceramic transient voltage suppressors ... SR 1 S 14 B M 474 X G ... PSpice simulation models available Applications

Soldering

Complete removal of flux is recommended to avoid surface contamination that can result in aninstable and/or high leakage current.Use resin-type or non-activated flux.

Bear in mind that insufficient preheating may cause ceramic cracks.

Rapid cooling by dipping in solvent is not recommended, otherwise a component may crack.

Operation

Use CTVS only within the specified operating temperature range.Use CTVS only within specified voltage and current ranges.

Environmental conditions must not harm a CTVS. Only use them in normal atmospheric

conditions. Reducing the atmosphere (e.g. hydrogen or nitrogen atmosphere) is prohibited.

Prevent a CTVS from contacting liquids and solvents. Make sure that no water enters a CTVS

(e.g. through plug terminals).

Avoid dewing and condensation.

EPCOS CTVS components are mainly designed for encased applications. Under all

circumstances avoid exposure to:

direct sunlight

rain or condensation

steam, saline spray

corrosive gases

atmosphere with reduced oxygen content

EPCOS CTVS devices are not suitable for switching applications or voltage stabilization where

static power dissipation is required.

This listing does not claim to be complete, but merely reflects the experience of EPCOS AG.

Display of ordering codes for EPCOS products

The ordering code for one and the same EPCOS product can be represented differently in data

sheets, data books, other publications, on the EPCOS website, or in order-related documents

such as shipping notes, order confirmations and product labels. The varying representations of

the ordering codes are due to different processes employed and do not affect the

specifications of the respective products. Detailed information can be found on the Internet

under www.epcos.com/orderingcodes

The following applies to all products named in this publication:

1. Some parts of this publication contain statements about the suitability of our products for

certain areas of application. These statements are based on our knowledge of typical re-

quirements that are often placed on our products in the areas of application concerned. We

nevertheless expressly point out that such statements cannot be regarded as binding

statements about the suitability of our products for a particular customer application.

As a rule, EPCOS is either unfamiliar with individual customer applications or less familiar

with them than the customers themselves. For these reasons, it is always ultimately incum-

bent on the customer to check and decide whether an EPCOS product with the properties de-

scribed in the product specification is suitable for use in a particular customer application.

2. We also point out that in individual cases, a malfunction of electronic components or

failure before the end of their usual service life cannot be completely ruled out in the

current state of the art, even if they are operated as specified. In customer applications

requiring a very high level of operational safety and especially in customer applications in

which the malfunction or failure of an electronic component could endanger human life or

health (e.g. in accident prevention or lifesaving systems), it must therefore be ensured by

means of suitable design of the customer application or other action taken by the customer

(e.g. installation of protective circuitry or redundancy) that no injury or damage is sustained by

third parties in the event of malfunction or failure of an electronic component.

3. The warnings, cautions and product-specific notes must be observed.

4. In order to satisfy certain technical requirements, some of the products described in this

publication may contain substances subject to restrictions in certain jurisdictions (e.g.

because they are classed as hazardous). Useful information on this will be found in our Ma-

terial Data Sheets on the Internet (www.epcos.com/material). Should you have any more de-

tailed questions, please contact our sales offices.

5. We constantly strive to improve our products. Consequently, the products described in this

publication may change from time to time. The same is true of the corresponding product

specifications. Please check therefore to what extent product descriptions and specifications

contained in this publication are still applicable before or when you place an order. We also

reserve the right to discontinue production and delivery of products. Consequently, we
